Survival

I spend last week in Aberdeen Shire (Scotland) for a survival course. It was cold and wet but I had a great time. Under the waking eye from Ex RAF survival expert Conrad Allen we learned the basic skills to survive in the wilderness. Things like the will to survive, immobilizing fear, the need for warmth & water, fire making with with fire steel, building a shelter, using smoke signal and navigation. It definitely was not a week easy camping, and I learned a lot. Anyway; next year I will go trough the advanced course; here you learn to survive one week with only food and water you find on location. So this means, wet cold and hungry, I am looking forward to this.
